He isn't the one that set it so low. Our boycott did absolutely NOTHING to help make life better for the people of Cuba.
I am glad that with the boycott gone that Cubans will once again prosper in a manner to match their world-leading healthcare system. Obama is quite forward seeing.
I've no objection to normalizing relations with Cuba, but Obama gave away many concessions and asked for none in return. That's not how international politics is played. The Cubans should have given the USA something for lifting the boycott I don't know what, freeing political prisoners, allowing passports to Cuban national immigrants in the USA on asylum visas, there had to be something that the USA gained from the deal instead of giving it as a free gift all wrapped in ribbons.

We should have required nothing, asked for nothing and never did anything to start with.
Adding this. I think it is fairly disgusting to see all the partying in the streets over Castro's death. A bit of quiet relief might be appropriate but not this wild celebration of a human being dying.
I don't expect anyone to miss him but its inappropriate behavior.

Lol...we took our boot off of their necks just a little bit. There's no need to wrangle concessions from someone for doing that. The policy was stupid to begin with.
